3. About
the project
The project is sited
in Sri Aman, about 110km from Sarawak’s capital city Kuching. It is separated
from the town and its waterfront by a small hill, which is a significant
heritage site where the historical Fort Alice stands. Fort Alice is the oldest
surviving fort made of belian (ironwood), built by Charles Brooke in 1864, and
includes a historical tomb on site.
The client originally
wanted an observation tower for viewing the tidal bore – a natural phenomenon
unique to this town – with facilities such as a resource cum visitors centre
for public awareness and educational programmes.
原本，官方是要建筑一所包含游客资讯中心的观潮台，所谓的潮即是鲁巴河独特的河潮，或俗称梦娜。但建筑师提呈了一个容纳场地、古迹与文化因素的设计，并获得官方的接纳。
The site is conceived
as a public park with a wheelchair accessible ramp that brings visitors from
the road level down to a new river esplanade. A 7m drop from the road level to
the esplanade means that, functionally, the ramp has to wind down the slope
with sufficient distance to achieve a gentle gradient. This results in a spiral
form resembling a ‘midin’ or ‘paku’, the edible shoot of a wild local fern and
a delicacy, which is also significant for the Sarawak Iban ethnic group.
Rather than the
common practice of using indigenous motifs as surface decoration, this approach
uses the motif to generate the form of the building.
该公园主要建筑为一个可供轮椅通行的斜坡，游客可从公路下到一个新的河景。公路与河边的高差是7公尺，这意谓需要有足够的距离，来建立“舒服”的斜道。建筑师以螺旋形式类似当地野生蕨'midin'或'包谷'，配合砂拉越伊班族传统条纹的设计处理这舒服的斜道。
以土著图案为建筑形式是一项创新，因为过去人们常用它作为表面装饰。
The functional spaces
include an exhibition space, audio-visual room and offices, which are placed
under the ramp and dug into the hill. A sunken courtyard allows natural light
and cross-ventilation to these spaces which have sweeping view of the river.
Cladding and screens
constructed from ‘belian’ are reinterpretations of the construction of Fort
Alice, a unique building type, and the traditional Malay houses around the
area.
公园建设包含了展览厅、视听室与办事处。这些建设处于斜坡下。其下沉式庭院允许自然采光，垂直的格条让人们能从室内观看河景。这建筑物的主要材料为盐木，因为避免与爱丽丝堡与邻近的马来老屋冲突。
The local contractors
are only familiar with basic construction technique, as such, low tech
construction methodology was considered employing the use of Reinforced
Concrete (RC), timber and basic metal work.
The majority of the
accommodations are enclosed by RC retaining walls and RC ramp or RC roof deck
with thermal insulation. RC construction is also used for riverwalls, foot
paths and drains.
The landscaping
involves recreating the terrain into a rolling hill slope, which is turfed with
existing mature trees retained on site and other indigenous plant species
grown.
The building is today
the new home of the annual week-long Benak Festival, the town’s largest social
and tourism event. It is also becoming a popular spot for families and the
gentle gradient provides safe access to the elderly, disabled and children.
So popular is this
project, that the area is a new landmark for Sri Aman and is officially named
‘Taman Panorama Benak’. The project addresses the lack of public green open
space that caters for the multi-cultural community by offering a building with
cultural references in modern interpretations.
The
award recognizes the architect’s design approach that has successfully
addressed the site, heritage and cultural issues.
梦娜美景公园成为了斯里阿曼年度大型活动-梦娜节的中体，它也是地方上老中青各年龄层的消闲处，它独特的建设也方便残障人士。此公园成为斯里阿曼德新地标，补充了该坡绿地休闲空间，显示多元文化的新含义。
这奖项则肯定了建筑师的设计概念，他的设计成功与巧妙的包含了场地、古迹与文化因素。

About this special
presentation
After
completing the award winning project, the project Architect Mike Boon’s current
undertaking in Sri Aman is to conserve the Fort Alice for adaptive reuse as a
Heritage Museum for the local community.
In
conjunction with this conservation project, he has initiated a Community
Engagement Programme called “Reminiscing Forgotten Treasure …
Simanggang”. It is a NGO programme co-organized and funded by Sarawak
Heritage Society and Pertubuhan Arkitek Malaysia Sarawak Chapter. The programme
is supported by Sri Aman SoonHeng Society and Jabatan Muzium Sarawak, with a
local company, NS Bluescope Lysaght (Sarawak) Sdn Bhd, as the corporate
sponsor.
Under
the programme, a series of site visits and workshops are organized for students
and public to witness and learn about the conservation process since May 2013.
The objective is to encourage the local residents to set up the Friends of Fort
Alice (FoFA), a volunteer group to support your future community museum in the
conserved Fort Alice by the end of 2014.
完成了美景公园的建筑，温志坚现正参与爱丽丝堡的维修与提升为地方文物馆工程。
配合爱丽丝堡维修工程的开工，温志坚发动了“记忆的遗珠…成邦江”的社区维护古迹计划，由砂拉越遗产协会、马来西亚建筑师协会砂拉越分会与其企业伙伴NS Bluescope Lysaght（砂）有限公司联办与资助，砂拉越博物院及五脚基表演艺术坊的协办，及成邦江顺兴公会为本土伙伴。
In
appreciation to the support in conserving the fort and making Taman Panorama
Benak as a popular new landmark of Sri Aman, the Project Architect wishes to
dedicate and present the award, which he received in a special presentation by
the President of Nepal on 8th October 2013, held in conjunction with the 17th
ARCASIA Forum in Kathmandu, to the people of Sri Aman.
The
Guest of Honor, YB Datuk Amer Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari Bin Tun Datuk Haji
Abang Open, (Minister of Tourism Sarawak) receives this award on behalf of the
people of Sri Aman.
Mike
Boon also presents a limited edition T-Shirt printed for the Community
Engagement Programme as a souvenir to the Guest of Honor.
为了感激斯里阿曼子民对维护古堡与实现梦娜美景公园为新地标的努力与热情，温志坚特把他在10月8日于尼泊尔总统手中领取的“亚洲建筑师理事会建筑奖”献给斯里阿曼德子民，并由2013年梦娜节开幕主宾州旅游部部长拿督阿玛卓哈里将代领。温志坚也将赠送“记忆的遗珠…成邦江”限量衫于主宾。
